I was hiking from the Stanford House at about 11 am this morning. I wasn't
quite to the bridge over Stanford Run when I heard two crow making a lot of
noise off to the north. They flushed a short-eared owl out of the trees.
I got a good long look at the owl as it soared with its long, paddle-like
wings. It looked like it was going to soar south over the trail. But, it
turned north.
I knew what I was seeing. One of my Flickr contacts drives through the open
lands near Calgary, Alberta. He posts images of these owls. I recognized the
owl right away.
(These owls have been sighted in the past about 3 miles to the southwest at
the old Coliseum field.)
After I hiked back to my car at Brandywine Falls, I drove along Stanford
Road hoping for another view of the owl. But, I didn't see it.
